The most recent rally in March ended in a violent confrontation with alleged masked police agents.
Asociación Armonía, American Bird Conservancy’s partner in Bolivia, could potentially win a European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) grant depending on the number of votes it receives for its Palkachupa Cotinga project. As the flyer pasted below shows, there are less than 600 individuals thought to exist of this recently split species. Funding would help Armonía expand and manage an existing reserve and engage the local Leco indigenous community to improve their livelihoods.
(Washington, D.C., February 12, 2013) A two-inch long frog so deadly that its toxin could kill ten people; a bat that is called a flying fox with males that defend a harem of up to eight females; and an enigmatic, fist-sized owl that was discovered in 1976 only not to be seen again for 26 years, are among the unique wildlife species that captured the attention of voters in a just-completed campaign naming the Alliance for Zero Extinction’s (AZE’s) 7 Wonders of Endangered Species.
Conceived and coordinated by SAVE THE FROGS!, the goal of the International Day of Pesticide Action (October 12th, 2013) is to raise global awareness of the threats to wildlife and humans caused by society's increasing use of harmful pesticides. There are over 18,000 registered pesticides in the USA, and over a billion kilograms of pesticides are sprayed worldwide annually. Pesticides contaminate our tap water and food supplies, poison our streams, and cause health problems for aquatic wildlife as well as farmworkers and millions of humans living near agricultural areas.

The community where we operate is classified as minority tribe and girls are facing severe challenges through traditional and customary systems and other effects from neighboring communities. The girls in the community are not regarded like their male counterparts.
To rescue the girl child, we came up with the centre to support these girls. The centre offers educational programs and other skills that can nurture them into life with great expectations and income. We are currently supporting many needy girls and youth in the schools, their homes and other hosting groups of affected girls. The support requires finances, information dissemination and other material support.
The Atewa Range Forest Reserve is Ghana's most biodiverse -- and most threatened -- wilderness area. The reserve is home to the critically endangered Togo Slippery Frog (Conraua derooi), which exists on only two streams on Earth, both located in the Atewa Forest.
Numerous other amphibian species live on the reserve, as well as over 700 butterfly species. Unfortunately, the forest and its wildlife are under constant threat of mountaintop removal mining from several multi-national mining companies. Mountaintop removal mining destroys habitat and clogs the streams and rivers below with silt and the byproduct chemicals emerging from the mine.
